When a child is medically fragile and needs complex care that requires long-term care, the best place for them to be is at home with their family. Home healthcare makes it possible. In 1987, we partnered with Columbus Children’s Hospital to bring the first pediatric, trach-vent patient safely home. Today, approximately 5.6 million children are receiving medical care at home, enabling them to receive the specialized care they need in a setting that’s best for them and their families. ¹ Thanks to medical advances and the ever-increasing, vital role nursing plays, nearly all of the technology and clinical excellence of the hospital is now available at home. The difference is one-on-one, patient-centered care in a loving, familiar environment that enables children to remain at home and live the highest quality of life.

In a new study of more than 1,400 Covid-19 patients, 94 percent of those discharged from the hospital to home healthcare achieved statistically significant improvements in symptom burden and functional outcomes. ³ For seniors in particular, home-based care has become a critical part of Covid-19 recovery. Pioneers in home healthcare, our Rapid Response Team helped lead the charge to care for Covid-19 patients during a critical time in our nation. And, we continue to provide the skilled nursing and therapy individuals need to recover safely and successfully at home today. Overall, home healthcare is proving to reduce hospital readmissions, optimize patient outcomes and provide a better care experience—that’s the difference home makes.
